Come to the Charlestown Navy Yard to get trained and join the millions of citizen scientists around the world supporting scientific projects that benefit both people and the planet!
Trainings will equip local people of all ages and experiences with the observation tools they need to study local plant life. Together, we will take a close look at the plants of the Navy Yard and discuss how they interact with animals all over the food chain, how they respond to the seasons, and why it’s so important to monitor local plants.
After joining us for a group walk, volunteers will take their skills and knowledge and independently collect data around the Navy Yard and beyond! We are hoping to build a community of participatory scientists based in the Yard that can monitor the plants and contribute to a resilient Boston by collecting good data. Hope to see you at the Yard!
